Blowing Off Deco

[Rick Inman]

Have you ever blown off any deco time?

If so, what were the circumstances?

Were there any consequences?

My eyes aren't what they used to and I mis-read my BT and surfaced from a 150ft 30minute dive about 5 minutes early. When I got up I looked at my slate and said oops. Went home and felt OK

I haven't but I had a dive buddy that blew off a deep stop. I was diving cut tables and didn't have one to do, but my buddy's computer indicated a typical Pyle stop and they simply "missed it". The computer recalculated and we did an extended shallow stop until we both cleared. No ramifications at all. We were both on Nitrox 32 or someting close, max depth was less than 100ft, dive time was probably between 70 and 90 minutes.

I had to blow off some deco once,but after being knocked around by a 7ft gator,and him not leaving the small cavern area I was in,I decided a trip to Shands wasn't too bad-fortunately I didn't get bent,I think adrenaline must eliminate bubbles.

..I didn't get bent,I think adrenaline must eliminate bubbles.

Hmm, that is an interesting concept

No but I thought about it (does that count?) I had 15 minutes left at 10' and had to pee so bad it hurt bad but I made.

I have blown off deco due to another persons medical emergency and, yes, I paid for it. Table 8

Table 8? Altitude DCS treatment for a few hours on O2?

I should have specified: (Navy Table VIII ) , which indicates staying at 165 feet for 2 hours--then go to Table 6 at 60 feet with extensions, if necessary.
